Convenience, speed, and energy efficiency — these are the benefits we can collect from that small thing in the kitchen: the microwave oven.
Technologically, their primary purpose is for quick and efficient heating and cooking of food using microwave radiation, agitating water molecules within the food, and then generating heat through friction. And voila! We have a nice breakfast in rush hour and we have a tasty quick dinner before heading to bed.
Just sometimes, and a lot of time for some, microwave ovens give us a burnt smell. Either from the popcorn we just served or from the plastic container that just melted inside. Whatever that smell was caused by, it’s time to figure out how to get rid of the burnt smell. Fortunately, it’s just as easy as 1 2 3!
1. Inside clean. Clean up any crumbs and easily remove debris from the inside of the microwave using a sponge or cloth. Get rid of the splatters in all corners and don’t forget the microwave’s ceiling!
2. Prep Homemade Solution. Combine a cup of water, and three tablespoons of white vinegar in a microwave-safe bowl — the vinegar will cut through the grime in your microwave and make it easier to clean. Then add a tablespoon of vanilla extract to the solution.
3. Heat your solution. Microwave the vinegar-water-vanilla solution for six minutes. You should notice the microwave filling with steam as the solution comes to a boil.
4. Let the bowl stand. After the six minutes is up, allow the bowl to stand for 15 to 20 minutes so the steam can do its work. By now, the smell should noticeably dissipate.
5. Remove the bowl. Carefully take the bowl out of the microwave with an oven mitt or pot holder.
6. Clean the microwave again. Using a clean sponge or cloth. Make sure it’s no longer hot.
7. Use baking soda to stave off any remaining odor. If your microwave still smells after you clean it, pour a cup or two of baking soda into a bowl and put it inside with the door shut overnight.
If, after all of these steps, you cannot seem to get the burnt smell out, it may be time to replace your good old microwave. Know that if any part of the microwave itself appears burned or damaged, it can be a fire hazard so it’s best to get a new partner in the kitchen.
